With the arrival of the new year, people feel pressured to create their New Year's resolutions. Personally, I don't care for all the hype, but I do think it's important to set goals for yourself. So after stumbling across one of i-D fashion film project called "The Fifth Sense" on YouTube, I got inspired.

Across five cities in five countries, one of the most-in-demand young photographer's known as Harley Weir captures five creative women at different stages of their young lives, each inspired by the complex characteristics of CHANEL Nº5.

Strength

In Paris, young actress Oulaya Amamra, is guided by her strength and grace from the apartment she shares with her mother to the movie sets where she immerses herself in every character she plays.

“All of your life experience, your stories, that is what makes you complex.”

Identity

In Tokyo, photographer Momo Okabe's technicolor vision of her environment and her perspective on the way in which we create our identities is displayed through her photography as she transforms her subjects' bodies first documented at the bars and backstreets of Shinjuku’s quiet gay scene.

“Categorizing or defining yourself, the question ‘Who Am I,' is just a futile worldly passion.”

Desire

From the highways and beaches of Los Angeles, poet Zariya Allen's journey of youthful self-expression and teenage desire uses her hometown's rhythms to guide her words as she continues to figure out her place in the world.

“There is nothing more women than making the whole ocean move.”

Drive

In Johannesburg, South Africa, dancer Manthe Ribane shares her powerful story of a young woman on the journey of finding herself, alongside her brother and sister, as she is driven to create performances that will honor the memory of their parents and inspire the children of their neighborhood to keep moving forward.

“Don’t be five minutes, be timeless.”

Depth

In Berlin, artist Christine Sun Kim uncovers the profound way in which our senses work together to make meaning of the world through her extraordinary perspective. Born deaf, Christine creates work that asks viewers to think about sound itself, not simply as something we physically hear, but as a concept or even an idea.

"When you speak, you might have a fixed facial expression, but the tone of your voice, it inflicts..."

Focusing on strength, identity, desire, drive and depth, these five women are able to find forms of expression that allow them to not only keep in tune with themselves and those around them, but also celebrate their creativity.
